Jojo Joseph is an Associate Professor of Teaching in the Department of Chemistry at The Ohio State University at Newark. He holds a B.S. and M.S. in Chemistry from Kannur University and Mahatma Gandhi University, respectively, and a Ph.D. from The University of Akron. His postdoctoral research at The Ohio State University (2013–2018) focused on photochemistry and supramolecular systems. His research interests span Organic and Physical Chemistry, with a focus on photochemical reactions, catalytic processes, and materials science applications.
Joseph's work explores light-activated chemical probing, solvent effects on porphyrin tautomerism, and the synthesis of novel amphiphilic materials. His recent studies include investigations into corrosion mechanisms in food packaging and enzyme reactivation after nerve agent exposure. His research integrates experimental and computational methods to understand molecular dynamics and energy transfer processes.
Notable contributions include studies on flavin-based photooxidation, alkynylcarbene formation kinetics, and self-assembled porphyrin-naphthalenediimide systems. His articles reflect a trajectory from foundational material chemistry (e.g., detergent formulations) to advanced topics like fullerene-porphyrin conjugates and bicontinuous nanotubes.
Joseph has no listed scientific awards but maintains an active research program in Newark. His advising and grants focus on undergraduate and graduate training in analytical and synthetic chemistry. He is affiliated with the Chemistry Department’s research groups exploring supramolecular assemblies and photoresponsive materials.
